Frequently Asked Questions
Your next vacation is calling,
so what's holding you back?​
What's the advantage to booking my vacation with you?
I will save you time, which is, in my opinion, the most valuable resource we all possess. While it's true that I sometimes have access to special rates that aren't available to the general public, the real advantage in booking with me is my time, knowledge and experience. My goal is to make planning your vacation as stress-free as possible by helping you make the best choices for your travel party and taking care of the little things. I continue to apply new promotions to your exsiting vacation as they are released. I will be available to you by email, phone or text before you travel, throughout your journey, and after you return home.
How do I pay for my vacation and do you take payments?
Payments are available with most destinations and work the same as when they are booked directly. Most payments must be made through me and will be billed directly through the supplier, but can be set up as a payment plan or a deposit with final payment, as allowed by the supplier.
How do travel agents get paid?
When I make a qualifying booking with a travel supplier, they pay a designated commission to the agency, usually in about a month or so AFTER you travel, then a percent of that is distributed to me. This commission is already built into the price set by the travel supplier, so it does not affect your vacation price at all.
In some cases, I work with travel suppliers who do not have a built in commission or where there is additional planning involved. In these cases, I charge a non-refundable Planning Fee, which will be paid through the agency and then distributed to me.
